1 Claim.

This invention relates to a rotatable mop, and it consists in the novel features hereinafter described and claimed. An object of the invention is to provide a mop having a rotating or 5 revolving head whereby it may be used for sweeping, and is capable of being projected into corners and around the legs and feed of furniture so that the floor surface may be effiectually cleaned. Furthermore the polishing or turning movement of the head of the mop produces a bright surface or polish upon the floor.

In the accompanying drawing:

Figure 1 is a top plan view of the mop.

Figure 2 is a sectional view thereof cut on the line 22 of Figure 1.

Referring to the drawing in detail, the reference numeral 1 indicates a handle of my mop and it will be noted that the handle has one end received in a socket sleeve 2 which has formed thereon upstanding flanges 13. Arranged between .16 flanges 3 are one of the end portions of bars 4 and these end portions are secured between the flanges by suitable means, such as rivets 5. The bars 4 are secured together but have their opposite ends disposed in spaced relation with respect to each other, as at 6, for the purpose of receiving between the same, one of the ends of a link '7, which is adjustably secured between the spaced ends by a bolt 8 that is provided with a w'mg nut 9, as shown.

The opposite end of the link '7 is arranged between upstanding wings 10 of a bracket, and is fixed to the wings by rivets 11. The bracket includes a base that has pivotally secured centrally with respect thereto, by a pivot pin 12, a substantially triangular shaped plate 13, which has formed thereon a plurality of downwardly and inwardly curved arms 14 which are clamped about the body of the inner section 15 of a mop head, and the body of the inner section is reinforced by a wire frame 16. The inner section is triangular shaped and secured to the body thereof is the body 17 of a substantially circular section that is provided with a reinforcing wire 5 frame 18.

When in use the handle 1, may be moved back and forth whereby the mop head is reciprocated over the surface of the floor, and the said surface will be cleaned and polished. At the same time the plate 13, may turn upon the pivot pin 12, so that the edges and corners of the mop head may be moved into corners of a room and around the legs and feet of furniture, and clean and polish without disturbing the position and arrangement of the furniture.

Having described the invention what is claimed 1s:-

A rotatable mop construction comprising inner and outer connected substantially triangular shaped and circular shaped fabric mop heads respectively, a substantially triangular shaped plate having a plurality of downwardly and inwardly curved fingers engageable with the upper portions of the inner mop head, and a handle construction swivelly and adjustably connected with said plate.
